### lyng.io.process — Process execution and control for Lyng scripts
This module provides a way to run external processes and shell commands from Lyng scripts. It is designed to be multiplatform and uses coroutines for non-blocking execution.
> **Note:** `lyngio` is a separate library module. It must be explicitly added as a dependency to your host application and initialized in your Lyng scopes.
---
#### Add the library to your project (Gradle)
If you use this repository as a multi-module project, add a dependency on `:lyngio`:
```kotlin
dependencies {
implementation("net.sergeych:lyngio:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
}
```
For external projects, ensure you have the appropriate Maven repository configured (see `lyng.io.fs` documentation).
---
#### Install the module into a Lyng Scope
The process module is not installed automatically. You must explicitly register it in the scope’s `ImportManager` using `createProcessModule`. You can customize access control via `ProcessAccessPolicy`.
Kotlin (host) bootstrap example:
```kotlin
import net.sergeych.lyng.Scope
import net.sergeych.lyng.Script
import net.sergeych.lyng.io.process.createProcessModule
import net.sergeych.lyngio.process.security.PermitAllProcessAccessPolicy
// ... inside a suspend function or runBlocking
val scope: Scope = Script.newScope()
createProcessModule(PermitAllProcessAccessPolicy, scope)
// In scripts (or via scope.eval), import the module:
scope.eval("import lyng.io.process")
```
---
#### Using from Lyng scripts
```lyng
import lyng.io.process
// Execute a process with arguments
val p = Process.execute("ls", ["-l", "/tmp"])
for (line in p.stdout) {
println("OUT: " + line)
}
val exitCode = p.waitFor()
println("Process exited with: " + exitCode)
// Run a shell command
val sh = Process.shell("echo 'Hello from shell' | wc -w")
for (line in sh.stdout) {
println("Word count: " + line.trim())
}
// Platform information
val details = Platform.details()
println("OS: " + details.name + " " + details.version + " (" + details.arch + ")")
if (details.kernelVersion != null) {
println("Kernel: " + details.kernelVersion)
}
if (Platform.isSupported()) {
println("Processes are supported!")
}
```
---
#### API Reference
##### `Process` (static methods)
- `execute(executable: String, args: List<String>): RunningProcess` — Start an external process.
- `shell(command: String): RunningProcess` — Run a command through the system shell (e.g., `/bin/sh` or `cmd.exe`).
##### `RunningProcess` (instance methods)
- `stdout: Flow` — Standard output stream as a Lyng Flow of lines.
- `stderr: Flow` — Standard error stream as a Lyng Flow of lines.
- `waitFor(): Int` — Wait for the process to exit and return the exit code.
- `signal(name: String)` — Send a signal to the process (e.g., `"SIGINT"`, `"SIGTERM"`, `"SIGKILL"`).
- `destroy()` — Forcefully terminate the process.
##### `Platform` (static methods)
- `details(): Map` — Get platform details. Returned map keys: `name`, `version`, `arch`, `kernelVersion`.
- `isSupported(): Bool` — True if process execution is supported on the current platform.
---
#### Security Policy
Process execution is a sensitive operation. `lyngio` uses `ProcessAccessPolicy` to control access to `execute` and `shell` operations.
- `ProcessAccessPolicy` — Interface for custom policies.
- `PermitAllProcessAccessPolicy` — Allows all operations.
- `ProcessAccessOp` (sealed) — Operations to check:
- `Execute(executable, args)`
- `Shell(command)`
Example of a restricted policy in Kotlin:
```kotlin
import net.sergeych.lyngio.fs.security.AccessDecision
import net.sergeych.lyngio.fs.security.Decision
import net.sergeych.lyngio.process.security.ProcessAccessOp
import net.sergeych.lyngio.process.security.ProcessAccessPolicy
val restrictedPolicy = object : ProcessAccessPolicy {
override suspend fun check(op: ProcessAccessOp, ctx: AccessContext): AccessDecision {
return when (op) {
is ProcessAccessOp.Execute -> {
if (op.executable == "ls") AccessDecision(Decision.Allow)
else AccessDecision(Decision.Deny, "Only 'ls' is allowed")
}
is ProcessAccessOp.Shell -> AccessDecision(Decision.Deny, "Shell is forbidden")
}
}
}
createProcessModule(restrictedPolicy, scope)
```
---
#### Platform Support
- **JVM:** Full support using `ProcessBuilder`.
- **Native (Linux/macOS):** Support via POSIX.
- **Windows:** Support planned.
- **Android/JS/iOS/Wasm:** Currently not supported; `isSupported()` returns `false` and attempts to run processes will throw `UnsupportedOperationException`.

### lyngio — Extended I/O and System Library for Lyng
`lyngio` is a separate library that extends the Lyng core (`lynglib`) with powerful, multiplatform, and secure I/O capabilities.
#### Why a separate module?
1. **Security:** I/O and process execution are sensitive operations. By keeping them in a separate module, we ensure that the Lyng core remains 100% safe by default. You only enable what you explicitly need.
2. **Footprint:** Not every script needs filesystem or process access. Keeping these as a separate module helps minimize the dependency footprint for small embedded projects.
3. **Control:** `lyngio` provides fine-grained security policies (`FsAccessPolicy`, `ProcessAccessPolicy`) that allow you to control exactly what a script can do.
#### Included Modules
- **[lyng.io.fs](lyng.io.fs.md):** Async filesystem access. Provides the `Path` class for file/directory operations, streaming, and globbing.
- **[lyng.io.process](lyng.io.process.md):** External process execution and shell commands. Provides `Process`, `RunningProcess`, and `Platform` information.
---
#### Quick Start: Embedding lyngio
##### 1. Add Dependencies (Gradle)
```kotlin
repositories {
maven("https://gitea.sergeych.net/api/packages/SergeychWorks/maven")
}
dependencies {
// Both are required for full I/O support
implementation("net.sergeych:lynglib:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
implementation("net.sergeych:lyngio:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
}
```
##### 2. Initialize in Kotlin (JVM or Native)
To use `lyngio` modules in your scripts, you must install them into your Lyng scope and provide a security policy.
```kotlin
import net.sergeych.lyng.Script
import net.sergeych.lyng.io.fs.createFs
import net.sergeych.lyng.io.process.createProcessModule
import net.sergeych.lyngio.fs.security.PermitAllAccessPolicy
import net.sergeych.lyngio.process.security.PermitAllProcessAccessPolicy
suspend fun runMyScript() {
val scope = Script.newScope()
// Install modules with policies
createFs(PermitAllAccessPolicy, scope)
createProcessModule(PermitAllProcessAccessPolicy, scope)
// Now scripts can import them
scope.eval("""
import lyng.io.fs
import lyng.io.process
println("Working dir: " + Path(".").readUtf8())
println("OS: " + Platform.details().name)
""")
}
```
---
#### Security Tools
`lyngio` is built with a "Secure by Default" philosophy. Every I/O or process operation is checked against a policy.
- **Filesystem Security:** Implement `FsAccessPolicy` to restrict access to specific paths or operations (e.g., read-only access to a sandbox directory).
- **Process Security:** Implement `ProcessAccessPolicy` to restrict which executables can be run or to disable shell execution entirely.
For more details, see the specific module documentation:
- [Filesystem Security Details](lyng.io.fs.md#access-policy-security)
- [Process Security Details](lyng.io.process.md#security-policy)
